Worth a million laughs if you can skin it and tan the hide and use it for practical jokes.
As a kid, my brother, a friend and myself accidentally caught oe in a box trap. When we checked the trap, skunk. One of us opened the trap, and one of us clobbered it with a big stick, in theory to knock it out. We may have killed it because it never woke up. We decided to keep it as a pet, so we took it home to destink it. The oldest, my brothers buddy put it on the picnic table, got out his pocket knife to do surgery and remove the stink gland so it wouldn't stink anymore, but he cut into the gland and we all ran because it really stunk. That might have been when the skunk died too. I don't know. Anyway, we made it back to the picnic table, gathered up the dead skunk (by then), put it into a burn barrel, put papers and boxes in it, lit it in an attempt to get rid of the skunk. It smoldered for a couple of days. People were calling our parents for a mile or so threatening to kill us. And, we ruined the picnic table too. No pet skunk either.
Anyway, skin it, tan the hide, and do this, but instead of a park, maybe out from under a church pew during services just to lighten things up a bit...
